Digital Citizenship ZOOM (Virtual Middle School Academy)
2023-11-14 18:00 - 19:00 | Zoom
Middle Schoolers: We live in a world that relies on technology now more than ever. Join Zoe in this interactive Zoom/Virtual Academy to discuss digital citizenship and the role we each play in creating our digital landscape. This generation of scholars are “digital natives”, meaning that they have been surrounded by the influence of technology and the internet from the moment they were born. This comes with unique strengths and opportunities, which we will explore. We will also talk about social media, online safety, responsibility, and the impact that our online behavior can have on our real lives.
